Guest Reviews

• Marc (7/5): Tolle Schneewanderungen - Glasdach-Iglu und Abend-Buffet mit Abstrichen. - Toll waren die kilometerlangen und beschilderten Wanderwege in der Umgebung, die in den tiefen Schnee gezogen waren. Oft findet man sonst nur Loipen für die Ski-Langläufer (die es hier natürlich auch zahlreich gab). Das geräumige Restaurant im Haupthaus verfügte neben den Essenstischen auch über gemütliche Sitzgelegenheiten. Der Glasdach-Iglu war schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen und nicht sehr gemütlich eingerichtet. Anfang April waren wir in der auslaufenden Wintersaison in der Muotka Wilderness Lodge, so dass im Restaurant nicht mehr die in der Hauptsaison wohl übliche Vielfalt angeboten wurde. Das Frühstücks-Buffet war in Ordnung, das Abend-Buffet hatte aber leider eher nur Mensa-Niveau. Den Gesamtpreis fanden wir im Vergleich mit dem zuvor gebuchten Glasdach-Iglu in Sirkka als zu hoch.
• Vladimir (1/5): - Nothing Nothing to say
• Joseph (8/5): - Beautiful and rugged Beautiful location. Food is very good and enjoyable to try. Room is a bit “oversold” although fun to be in nature. Everything is priced because you are relatively captive.
• Arezou (10/5): - Tolles und sehr freundliches Personal. Wir haben das Erlebnis zu unserem fünften Hochzeitstag gebucht und waren rundum begeistert. Alles war hervorragend und stimmig. Besonders schön war, dass wir viele der vom Hotel angebotenen Touren und Aktivitäten nutzen konnten. Alles verlief pünktlich und bestens organisiert. Es war eine perfekte Mischung aus Abenteuer und Entspannung. Wir würden es jederzeit wiederholen und können es nur weiterempfehlen. Herzliche Grüße aus Deutschland und dem Iran

• manuela (10/5): -
• gabriel (7/5): - Location, great for aurora/ north lights Old furniture, could use an update to make it more confortable and modern , expecially in the bath areas
• Tze Han (6/5): -
• BURCU (10/5): Tekrar kalmak isterim - Herşeyi begendik. Temiz sıcak ve güzeldi. Akşam yemeği ve kahvaltı çok iyi ve yeterliydi. Dere kenarındaki saunayı kullandık sonra buzlu dereye girdik harika bir deneyimdi Begenmediğim herhangi birşey yok
• JUNG YU (8/5): -

• ABiondi (10/5): Oltre le aspettative, tutto perfetto e fantastico - Abbiamo alloggiato nella Cabina Aurora ed è stato tutto fantastico. Bellissima la possibilità di vedere l'aurora direttamente dal letto. Cabina molto molto carina, nella nostra era presente anche la sauna. Segnalo lo staff molto gentile e disponibile, sia quello alla reception sia quello al ristorante. Colazioni e cene davvero di ottimo livello. Anche le attività molto varie e interessanti. Nulla da segnalare, tutto perfetto.
• Nick (10/5): -
• Meliha (9/5): -
• S (7/5): - The location, the surroundings and the activities and the food were par excellence It's too pricey
• Gianluca (7/5): - Posizione, colazione e cena Rapporto qualità prezzo elevato
• Naomi (10/5): Esperienza da inserire nella propria bucket list per la Lapponia finlandese. - Luogo magico. Pochissima illuminazione che permette di vedere bene il cielo senza inquinamento luminoso. Non abbiamo visto l’aurora boreale perché era molto nuvoloso, ma è stato comunque bello dormire qui. Letto comodo. Cibo a buffet molto buono e vario. Personale molto gentile, accogliente e solare. Pulizia della stanza eccellente, ci hanno accolto in camera con due piccole bottiglie di spumante. La nostalgia di dover fare check out :)
• Nirav (9/5): -
• Kevin (1/5): Nice location but disgusting customer service. I DON’T RECOMMEND. - Great location in the WILDERNESS. Most of the staffs are not friendly at all - you instantly feel that they are working there only to get paid and leave. There should be a shuttle to bring guests along with their luggage to the lodge. When I asked the receptionist how do I take my suitcase to my lodge and her reply was - take the sled, put your luggage on it and pull - that’s absolutely ridiculous! I saw a couple - elderly people struggling to walk on ice and the woman nearly fell. Water is limited for the shower, it was written there’s only 40 liters and will take 2 hours to refill. This place is really not worth the price you’re paying for. Needs a lot of improvement. I strictly DO NOT RECOMMEND.
• Edwin (5/5): prijs/kwaliteit verhouding niet goed - ligging was goed, het weer was slecht. personeel was afstandelijk, het badkamertje in de iglo was heet slecht: als je hebt gedouched staat het toilet langdurig onder water. Het restaurant was in vergelijk met de andere Wildernis hotels duidelijk de minste. minder keuze, minder kwaliteit, minder lekker, koffiezetapparaat werkte niet goed, weinig keuze in brood, minder gezellige ambiance Het glas is steeds met condens. weinig ruimte voor jassen en bagage. de prijs/kwaliteit niet goed, eigenlijk slecht.
• Caroline (7/5): - L’emplacement en pleine forêt est sympa. Les grandes baies vitrées des «chalets aurores » sont super… si le ciel est dégagé… Bon petit déjeuner. Hôtel très cher (vraiment trop) pour la prestation fournie.
• Nanni (9/5): -
• Gernot (9/5): - Super Lage, sehr freundliches Personal, hervorragendes Essen, großes Zimmer und Sauna Zu wenig Kleiderhaken, Reinigung jeden 2. Tag
• Robert G. (10/5): - Fantastische Lage, einsam in der wunderbaren Natur, sehr freundliches, aufmerksames und hilfsbereites Personal in allen Bereichen, sehr gutes, abwechslungsreiches Essen (Frühstück, Mittag, Abend) in Buffetform mit hochwertigen Zutaten und Auswahl Fleisch-Fisch-Vegetarisch, immer frisch aufgefüllt.Gemütliche Zimmer, sauber und gute Ausstattung. Unser Zimmer war fantastisch gelegen mit direktem Blick in die Landschaft. Breites Angebot an Exkursionen mit gestellter Ausrüstung (Thermooverall, Thermoschuhe, Handschuhe, Socken), tolle Wanderwege zum Selbsterkunden. Einzigartige Location mit sehr hoher Polarlichtwahrscheinlichkeit (wir sind u.a. deswegen gekommen und wurden nicht enttäuscht). Wir sind total begeistert vom Aufenthalt und sehr froh uns hierfür (und gegen Tromsö und Reykjavik) entschieden zu haben. Wir kommen immer wieder gerne wieder (z.B. auch mal.im Sommer). Die Kosten für den Flughafenshuttle über das Sammeltaxi sind deutlich zu hoch. Das Bett bzw. die beiden Einzelbetten sollten zwei Matratzen haben, nicht eine große.

• Adrienn (10/5): Nice location, aurora view, amazing programs - The Hotel is in the middle of the forest. Perfect location. The food was amazing and huge choice. The staff was very kind and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. I stayed in the aurora cabin and I had a chance to see the aurora from my bed. The Hotel offered many activities and they provided the necessary equipment. I enjoyed so much the programs.
• Taly (10/5): A great location and room viewing window/ roof - The location and the clear roof top window are amazing 1. Street lights are on all night, making it difficult to view the northern lights, from the room. We had to find a creative solution, to enable a very good viewing from the room. 2. The room facilities lack: a 'respectable', not mini table top mirror, towel heaters, shelves and bedside dresser.
• anna chiara (9/5): - La struttura è immersa nella foresta boreale, isolata ma perfetta per avvistare le aurore e godersi il paesaggio. Abbiamo soggiornato nella aurora cabin che ci ha permesso di vedere l'aurora entrambe le sere dal nostro letto. Era dotata inoltre di piccola sauna. La colazione buona e abbondante. Struttura isolata, il bus che la collega a Saariselka passa solo due volte al giorno e i transfer hanno un costo eccessivo. Per fare circa 4 km di strada ci hanno chiesto 60 euro per due persone.
• Sonia (10/5): -
• Sylwia (10/5): Schön, mitten in Nirgends, naturnah. Allerdings alles kostet extra und ist extrem überteuert. - Sauberkeit und Standard. Das Buffet war nicht abwechslungsreich, dennoch man wurde satt. Relativ teuer.
• Philippe (8/5): - Emplacement - igloo exceptionnel Nourriture correcte, mais meilleure au Wilderness Saariselka...
• vanessa (10/5): A beautiful, spacious stay with friendly staff, great vegan-friendly food, and the unforgettable bonus of seeing the Nor - We had a wonderful stay at Wilderness Hotel Muotka and would absolutely recommend it. Our room was spacious and beautifully designed, making it a perfect place to relax after a day of activities. The welcome we received was warm, and throughout our stay the staff were consistently friendly and helpful. One of the highlights for us was the food. The meals were delicious, and we really appreciated how accommodating the kitchen was with vegan options. The chef kindly adapted dishes of our choice into vegan versions, which made dining such a pleasure and completely stress-free. To top it all off, we were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights directly from our cabin — an unforgettable experience! This hotel made our trip truly special. Nothing !
• Liliana (9/5): Gran Lugar!! - Pudimos ver auroras desde la habitación, el desayuno y la cena muy ricos, y nos dieron desayuno para el vuelo temprano El personas muy amable El sauna de la habitación un gran éxito!! La cabaña es pequeña para 4 personas cuando se abre el sofácama
• Andrea (10/5): -
• travis (9/5): I would recommend the location to anyone who wants to visit the Artic Circle. - the location and ease of use of services...the meals were part of the fee... the activities especially the dog sled adventure. the bed was two single beds press together to make a Kind Bed...the mattresses slid apart throughout the night.
• Luisa (10/5): Vacanza magica - Ho amato tutto: -personale molto gentile e disponibile -buffet con vasta scelta (carne, pesce, piatti vegetariani, c'è il latte d'avena a colazione e molti piatti sono senza lattosio, ma per intolleranze o diete basta riferirlo) -struttura molto bella, in legno, nella natura, nel silenzio -souvenir che ho preferito a quelli dei negozi di Saariselka (glogi, marmellate, addobbi di Natale, peluche....) -attivitá tipiche della Lapponia (husky, renne, motoslitte, sauna e lago ghiacciato, bici...insomma nulla da invidiare alle altre attività locali) -transfer dall'aeroporto (pagamento extra) -slittini per le valigie -c'è un'area bookcrossing ed è possibile chiedere in prestito giochi da tavolo Niente
• Oleg (10/5): ВЕСЬ ПЕРСОНАЛ ПОЛНОСТЬЮ БЫЛ ЗАБОТЛИВЫЙ К НАМ !!! - НАМ ВСЁ ПОНРАВИЛОСЬ ПОЛНОСТЬЮ !!! НЕ БЫЛО ТАКОГО ЧТОБЫ НЕ ПОНРАВИЛОСЬ !!!
• Dave (10/5): One of the most enjoyable wilderness retreats we have experienced - The hotel is ideally situated to enjoy winter activities and of course see the northern lights. Its location, away from the main road, is great for a nature experience. This is a well managed and organised hotel and hard to find any faults.
• ANGELO (10/5): -
• Klara (10/5): -
• Gael (6/5): Malgré tout nous avons très bien mangé et nous avons aimé l’emplacement - Vraiment idéal pour une immersion. Loin de tout mais possibilité de se restaurer et de faire des activités Pour le prix il manquait des équipements comme une machine à café ou des chaussons. Nous avons pris un chalet Aurora. Le sol n’étais pas fait et comme nous n’avions pas de chaussons c’était particulier.. présence de toile d’araignée. Pour les chalets ouverts penser qu’il faudra veiller tard pour voir les Aurores et qu’il n’y aura pas possibilité de fermer les vitres donc vous serez réveillé par la lumière du jour très tôt…
• Sari (10/5): -
• Clement (9/5): -
• Simone (10/5): -
• Anna (5/5): Not worth the money - In the igloo, the northern lights were easily visible, good breakfast, good location without light pollution The igloo has dated furniture (carpet, sofa, and bathroom cabinet), the bathroom and the sauna are minuscule, we could hardly fit in two. The bathroom is made of cheap material, there is only a 2-in-1 shampoo and shower gel (not even a conditioner) and there are only 40 liters of hot water each day. The dinner buffet is the smallest I’ve ever seen and the food is not even good. Also, you have to take your own bags to your igloo. Based on the price paid, this is absolutely not worth it.
• Sarah (6/5): - Essen: Die Salatauswahl war gut. Personal: Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Anlage: Das Hotel ist sehr schön gelegen. Essen: Leider gab es fast keine veganen Optionen. Jeden Abend bestand das Essensangebot hauptsächlich aus Gerichten mit Kartoffeln. Das Buffet sowie der Speisesaal war teilweise sehr voll, besonders zu den Stosszeiten. Am Morgen stand für die vielen Gäste nur eine Kaffeemaschine zur Verfügung. Zimmer: In den ersten beiden Nächten war es im Igloo sehr kalt. Die Dusche ist leider nur umständlich benutzbar: Es gibt nur eine Regendusche, und da der Raum sehr eng ist und die Dusche nicht abgetrennt ist, wird beim Duschen alles nass (inklusive WC). Zudem befindet sich die Dusche mitten im Raum, direkt vor der Saunatür, was unpraktisch ist.
• Jenni (10/5): Magical setting, thick snow and evenings spent watching the aurora borealis - Beautiful log cabin with amazing view of the aurora borealis from our sofa! Ultimate relaxation! Friendly staff and great food. Nothing
• Damian Chlebek (10/5): - View, food, location Too expensive
• Przemysław (10/5): - Bardzo mi sie podobal pobyt dokladnie to czego oczekiwaliśmy sama natura świetny klimat . Śniadanie i obiadokolacja smaczna , personel na plus . Polecam wynająć samochód super udogodnienie . Nie polecam atrakcji bus-husky ,cena byla za wysoka jeżeli chodzi o całokształt .

• Nicolas (9/5): -
• Diana Marcela (9/5): - The rooms are cozy and modern, the food is good No help to move luggage to the room. This means you will carry your luggage no matter the climate conditions including snow.
• Mariia (10/5): -
• Joy Peng (10/5): Truly amazing location, highly recommend staying here!! - Really amazing place surrounded by untouched wilderness - so grateful to have spent 4 beautiful days here. The sauna was great- super clean and heats up fast; the bathroom was nice and big. We didn’t book many activities upfront (we should have!) but did go snowshoeing - recommend you book with the hotel because then you can keep the snow clothes for the days you’re there. We got a transfer from the airport and to our bus stop (to Rovaniemi), on time and convenient! We did half-board and the buffet for breakfast and dinner were fantastic. Hot tip- skibus runs once a day at 10.10am from there so if you want to go into Saariselka, it passes by. The first night we found our sheets seemed unclean- but the stafd were quick to come replace them.
• ENILDE (10/5): LEMBRANÇAS MARAVILHOSAS PARA O RESTO DA VIDA - O hotel é maravilhoso. Ficamos num Igloo de vidro e vimos Aurora Boreal da cama. Comida excelente e atendimento incrível. Recomendo muito
• 中川 (9/5): 最高！！！ - 自然に囲まれていて、サウナ付きのお部屋で、暖炉があって、冬のフィンランドを感じられ、最初からめちゃ気持ちが上がった。（ただ、お部屋にハエがいて、窓下には何匹か落ちていたのには驚いた．．．なぜ？） スタッフの方はみなフレンドリー、お食事はブッフェのみだが、内容は毎回変わるので、飽きずに楽しめると思う。 オーロラが見れたが、ログハウスと雪とオーロラ、写真もすばらしいものになった。 お茶の時間に楽しめるスイーツメニューがあるとうれしかったかも。
• Dennis (9/5): Loved the time and attentiveness of staff. Even the Activities staff were most helpful. - Wait staff was very accommodating, vast types of food on the buffet, drinks, More rustic with no TV but ample space to sit about to talk with others. Large grounds to walk or slide about. Quiet and felt very safe. Did not have any towels in the room but was very clean. Staff at front desk were quick to provide.
• Sébastien Douce (10/5): Grandiose meme si on a pas eu les aurores... le ciel etait couvert - Sauna et personnel Départ de motos neige plus loins des cabanes hotel .
• Alizée (10/5): - The place itself is amazing! The welcoming, the hotel & the staff, everything was great ! The food is delicious. We love the activities and the staff was really nice, helpful and funny. A big thank you to Jose & Miguel and the lady of snowmobiling ! We'll be back ! We liked everything! Some little details can be improved on the experience such as amenities in the bathroom, decorations in the rooms. Otherwise everything was great and I highly recommend this place
• ANA ALICIA (10/5): Increíble - Todo, lugar increíble desde el que pudimos ver un montón de auroras. El alojamiento es una pasada
• JER TAO (10/5): -
• Cristina (10/5): La esencia del país - Lugar con entorno privado, lleno de naturaleza, alejado de la civilización. A pesar de la distancia desde Rovaniemi merece la pena alojarte aquí para disfrutar de la esencia del paisaje, te facilitan las formas de llegar. El restaurante está dentro del edificio principal, con no mucha variedad pero cocinado por ellos. En el mismo edificio puedes pasar tiempo de relax en una zona de sofás con chimenea y vistas al paisaje. Todo el personal ha estado muy atento en todo momento para que la estancia fuera lo más acogedora posible. Nosotras disfrutamos de la experiencia de baño en lago helado más sauna, 1h privada, sin duda la mejor forma de realizar esta actividad en comparación con otros lugares donde compartes el espacio con más gente. Nuestra estancia fue en el iglú, de ensueño a pesar de no poder ver auroras boreales por el tiempo . En definitiva, la mejor experiencia de nuestro viaje! Nada, todo genial.
• Sidharth (7/5): -
• Tino (9/5): -
• Emin (10/5): -
• Minal (9/5): Perfect! - Beautiful location. Staff is really good. Lodge was cosy and well kept. We had an amazing time.
• Leslie (8/5): Loved the wilderness, way overpriced. - Secluded wilderness location, abundance of activity offerings on site, cool looking aurora huts from outside, delicious restaurant on site, dark sky for aurora viewing, friendly activities staff. Everything was extremely overpriced from activities to the aurora cabins to the food. The aurora cabins are cramped, outdated, and fit 2 people max. Not worth the money.
• Lanneke (9/5): -
• yap (10/5): - We absolutely loved this place! We even saw the Northern Lights right at the doorstep — such a magical moment. There’s also a sauna room inside the accommodation, which made the stay even better. The breakfast had plenty of choices too, really impressive. Overall, a very worth-it stay. We truly loved it.
• Federica (10/5): -
• Saleemi (8/5): -
• Claudia (9/5): - La cabina aurora immersa nella natura La cena poco variegata e la dimensione del bagno troppo piccola
• Rosa Maria (10/5): -
• Andreas (9/5): Für und hat alles gepasst, wir sind begeistert von Finnland. - Das Frühstück lies keine Wünsche offen. Das Abendessen war hervorragend der Dessert voll ok. Schön wurden viele lokale Lebensmittel verwendet. Unser Blockhaus war nicht zu toppen. Das Personal jederzeit freundlich und aufmerksam. Die ganze Anlage schön gepflegt in die Natur eingebettet. Die Gebäude und Hütten gaben ein schönes heimeliges Gesamtbild. Bei einer privaten Sauna im Raum sind Tücher und Bademäntel ein muss! Der Taxitransfer fanden wir zu hoch im Preis. Das Dessertbuffet hat sich im lauf der Woche wiederholt. Das Kaminfeuer im allgemeinen Sitzbereich dürfte regelmässiger brennen.
• Matteo (10/5): -
• Alannah (9/5): - La situation en pleine nature La nourriture variée et travaillée Personnel sympathique /
• Ledio (10/5): Recommended 100% - The staff from reindeer experience, epically the Venezuelan guy was very easy going and helpful with everything
• Nor Rabani (8/5): -
• Francesco (10/5): - Colazione deliziosa, c’è tutto non manca nulla e il personale è stato fantastico. La posizione ottima per avvistare l’aurora boreale, che fortunatamente sono riuscito a vedere.
• Astrid (7/5): Expected much better for the cost. - The location. The bed under the windows in the igloo. The bed was confortable. Breakfast was ok. The igloos are dated. The furniture is sparse and not in very good condition, seems quite old. In particular the bathroom is very small, I suppose to fit in a very small sauna, but then there is no space for a shower that does not flood the whole bathroom. There is not even a space for a bathroom mirror. In the room there is not a fridge, and they kindly offer two little champagne bottles, but these are warm because there is no fridge. We stayed one night, so it was fine, but if were staying longer there would not be a pleasant space to sit, a desk and anywhere to hang clothes beyond the outdoors garments. For the steep price, the igloo was very disapointing.
• Nelson (10/5): Excelente! -
• Waize (9/5): Gerne immer wieder! - Die Lage vom Hotel ist wirklich traumhaft. Vom Flughafen fährt man etwa 30min - bei Schnee haben wir uns mehr Zeit gelassen. Das Hotel liegt mitten in der Natur, und wir haben direkt in der ersten Nacht wunderschöne Polarlichter gesehen! das Buffet am Abend ist zu teuer. Wir sind stattdessen in die nächste Stadt gefahren und haben dort gegessen.
• Helmut (8/5): Sehr gute Anlage mit freundlichem Personal - Sehr gemütliche Atmosphäre, kurze Wege innerhalb der Anlage. Ein bisschen wenig Essens Auswahl Leider bewegt sich das komplette Personal im Bereich der Küche. Da sollte mehr Rücksicht auf Hygiene genommen werden.
• Britta (10/5): - Einfach schön mitten im Wald gelegen. Die Unterkunft ist total gemütlich und bietet auch Aktivitäten an.
• Clare (10/5): - Wonderful, secluded location, lodges were fantastic, comfy beds, great views of the forest. Only minor but breakfast started quite late, would be nice to have an early breakfast option, also I thought the cost of the dinner was a little expensive for the amount of choice.
• A Carter (8/5): Very nice cabin out in the woods. - Great cabin out in the woods. Good view of the creek from the full wall window. Why would you stay in Saariselka when you can be out in the woods for your stay in Finland? Nice bed (just watch out for the bear head carving when you reach for your glasses). Large sauna and good shower/bathroom. Large enough to spread out. Breakfact was a typical European breakfast but did not change. Some of the gluten free pastries were great tasting; even though I normally don't eat gluten free dishes. I had a minor auto problem and the maintanence man returned to the hotel to air up the tire which had a low pressure warning. Thanks!! Dinner did not meet our expectations and we only ate there the first night of 4 during our stay. Offering rental of bikes without taking a full excursion would have been nice.
• Morales Álvarez (10/5): -
• Amy (10/5): Magical winter wonderland! - We loved our stay in the igloo! The sauna was such a nice addition. Great selection for breakfast and a lovely forest view. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

En revanche, le rapport qualité pr - Le chalet était magnifique et très bien équipé (sauna, poêle à bois, mini cuisine). Les paysages sont superbes (Rennes à observer dans la nature, aurores boréales avec un peu de chance). Le bémol rapport qualité/prix de la nourriture : nous avons eu du mal à justifier le prix (très très) élevé du buffet. Le soir, la nourriture est relativement bonne mais pas exceptionnelle. Le midi : 21€/ personne pour un bar à crudité très limité. En revanche, le petit déjeuner est garni. S’agissant du personnel, il est très aimable. En revanche, il ne vous apporte aucune information s’agissant du lieu et des activités. Les rapports se limitent au strict minimum. Enfin, gros point négatif: l’hôtel fait payer le transfert pour l’aéroport 120€ pour 2 personnes (1 seul trajet) alors même qu’au retour nous étions 6 dans le van!! Attention donc : des taxis font l’aller retour pour beaucoup moins cher.
